SCHOOLS.
Report of Superintendent.
To the School Committee : -
The lines of work followed in the schools during the past year have been identical with those pursued in previous years with few exceptions.
Five years ago the study of elementary algebra was intro- duced into the Grammar schools, as at that time the course in algebra at the High school was too brief and the con- ditions of the school prevented extension of time to the subject.
During the years that I have mentioned, conditions have been changing, so that within the past year we have been able to recast the course of studies for the High school and in so doing have arranged to extend the course in alge- bra, consequently the formal study of this subject has been taken from the work of the Grammar school, except what can be taught profitably in correlation with the study of arithmetic.
Some entertain a mistaken idea concerning the study of algebra. They class it among the so-called impractical subjects. No one denies that as far as actual business transactions of life are concerned, that there are portions of this subject studied in our schools, which seem useless. The same criticism can be made concerning portions of arithmetic. But in teaching the so-called essential por- tions of arithmetic and algebra we find that an understand- ng of some of these impractical portions frequently very
89
much assist the pupil to understand the essentials, therefore great care must be exercised in using the pruning shears.
Again, to return to the subject of changes.
When elementary algebra was taken from the Grammar schools, it was thought advisable to substitute in its place elementary book-keeping, which was then being taught at the High school.
The eighth grade of the Grammar school was considered · the best place for this work, as there nearly every pupil in town would receive instruction in making out ordinary busi- ness forms, as bills, notes, and receipts, and in a simple form of accounts, a knowledge of which seems almost indis- pensable to every citizen of sound mind.
The High school did not seem as desirable a place for this subject as the Grammar school, principally for the rea- son that, occasionally, a pupil upon leaving the Grammar school does not attend the High, and some that enter the High remain but a short time.
A change has been made in the study of geography by the fifth grade.
It has been the custom to place some text-book in the hands of the pupil and require him to study and repeat, in most instances, parrot-like, what he found there, if he could read it.
This feature of our school work was discussed at a teach- ers' meeting last June, and all expressed the opinion that much time was lost while pursuing the subject, in Grade V, in the manner indicated ; accordingly, it was decided to use in the fifth grade, hereafter, simple and interesting geo- graphical readers, of which there are many, and to follow. in the formal study of geography, an outline comprised of subjects pertaining to the earth as a whole.
By the method previously pursued, the pupil in his sixth grade work was obliged to spend quite a portion of his time in going over the same ground covered during the fifth grade period. In the adoption of the present plan we hope
90
and expect to obviate this undesirable feature, except in a slight degree, which the necessity of reviews may entail.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
It may fittingly be said of the High school that it is undergoing reconstruction.
The State has held out certain inducements to small High schools which we have accepted together with attending obligations. No matter what the apparent purposes and aims of other High schools are, it should be the purpose and aim of ours to give the boys and girls within its walls such training and instruction as shall best prepare them for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. The school should be conducted in consideration of the ninety-nine that do not intend to go to college instead of the one that may go.
It is not my purpose to imply that the Norwell High school is being conducted too much on the plan of a "fit- ting" school, but to sound a word of warning, that when it issues from this reconstruction epoch it may emerge with correct purposes and aims. While the State demands that the school offer courses of study that will prepare pupils for colleges and scientific institutions, it does not demand that these courses be in constant operation, but that the school possess facilities that will accomplish certain results when certain lines of action are pursued.
The State has long realized the inability of small towns to maintain High schools that could offer such training and instruction as would raise the standard of citizenship, hence the enactment of legislation granting such towns financial assistance.
This aid is not given with the intent to lessen a town's obligation, but to enable it to improve the condition of its High school, which could receive but little in the line of improved facilities if dependent upon local taxation alone.
91
Thus the facilities of our own High school have been improved far more during the past year, than local support alone could have afforded.
As I have already stated, the purpose of the High school should be to train and instruct citizens, to develop the high- est traits of manhood and womanhood, to discourage all per- nicious tendencies.
In order to accomplish these ends, discrimination must be made in the nature of the work of different pupils. Noth- ing will more effectually defeat the purposes of a school than to have the work a misfit.
The work at the High school during the past term has been difficult for some of the pupils, but if the teachers and school officers can have the assistance of the confidence and co-operation of the parents, a proper adjustment will be effected and the work will not be beyond the capacity of any pupil who will give school his undivided attention.
